Can You Stick Plasterboard with Expanding Foam?

Can You Stick Plasterboard with Expanding Foam?


You might be surprised to learn that the answer to this question is a resounding yes! Sticking plasterboard with expanding foam is not only possible, but it's also a great way to ensure a tight, secure bond between the plasterboard and the wall. In this blog post, we'll show you how to do it.

Stick Plasterboard with Expanding Foam Steps:-

Step One: Prepare the Surface

Before you can stick your plasterboard to the wall, you need to make sure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of any debris. The best way to do this is to use a wire brush to remove any loose paint or plaster. Once you've done that, wipe the surface down with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Step Two: Apply the Foam

Once the surface is prepped and ready to go, it's time to apply the expanding foam. For best results, use a foaming gun to apply the foam evenly across the surface. Once you've applied the foam, wait for it to expand and cure (this usually takes around 24 hours).

Step Three: Apply the Plasterboard

Now that your foam is fully cured, you can go ahead and apply your plasterboard. For best results, use water-resistant plasterboard such as Aqua-Panel. Start by applying one board at a time, using screws or nails to secure it in place. Once all of your plasterboards are in place, you can then start jointing and skimming them.

Give it a go

As you can see, sticking plasterboard with expanding foam is quite easy. This method is not only quick and easy, but it also produces great results. So next time you're looking for a way to secure your plasterboard, don't forget about expanding foam!

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
